CrazyAuntPearl: Tumped over

Here’s one of my new blog friends. She doesn’t really know it yet but I’ve been reading her blog for a couple of months. Today’s post, and the 117 comments (at the time of me writing this post) had me in tears.

She writes it. It’s what I’ve been feeling. It’s the reason I posted crazy-ass things on craigslist (for crying out loud–what was I thinking!!!)

It’s the reason I understand more why people have casual sex. (Although if you repeat that to my children, I’ll deny that I know you.)

It’s not that I don’t get hugs. It’s not that no one sits next to me on the couch. I have more than the poodle and fish…I have my darling sons.

It’s that no one touches me. They hug ‘mom.’ That’s a great and glorious and miraculous thing.

But it’s different. (obviously)

check her out.

Welcome to the new (and hopefully permanent) home of This Journey. It's good to have people walking along, especially during the bumpy parts. I can be contacted at not.fainthearted at gmail dot com. Or leave a comment!
